Trial by Declaration = You Lose.

The issue isn't the absence of a painted cross-walk. The issue is who had the right of way and, if the pedestrian had the right of way, did you interfere with the right of way. Yielding the right of way to a pedestrian does not mean waiting until the pedestrian is completely off the street. You can legally drive through a crossing area even if a pedestrian is still crossing the street, just not so close to the pedestrian so as to interfere with his movements, plus a little bit more for safety's sake.
